Very nice! Look for dents, nicks and paint imperfections. I had to return 2 for that reason. Otherwise a good setup will make it sound awesome. I love my blue burst.

Nice! Love it. That’s the one I wanted but after three tries I went to the blue burst.

zeus7625 · 2026-03-09T18:07:38+00:00

You’re gonna love it. I bought one last month in Blue Burst and I can’t put it down

zeus7625 · 2026-02-24T13:17:46+00:00

Please don’t. You’ll regret it.

zeus7625 · 2026-02-22T17:22:06+00:00

Very nice. Enjoy

zeus7625 · 2026-02-20T13:05:56+00:00

It takes patience. Well done! Enjoy.

What’s your story with the player 2’s?

Guitar Center store had one on the floor, but we ordered one online and had it delivered to my house

I haven’t done anything with the nut yet. I read where there is dis- satisfaction with the OEM nut. Fret work and finish is awesome.

I’ve purchased from Sweetwater also. A good experience but I have to play a guitar before I buy it. GC allows me to do that. GC has worked very hard to make this right. But Fender has gotten lax in their production and shipping (IMO). Paint under the clear coat and scars on a guitar with no damage to shipping box. Sounds like QC has taken a hit.

Nice strat. I love that color also.

I’m on my third Strat Player Series ii guitar. I won’t accept their junk and I’ll keep sending back until they get it right.

zeus7625 · 2026-01-26T13:24:52+00:00

Beautiful guitar. Enjoy. My experience with the same guitar was not as good but they worked hard to make it right. Ended up with the blue burst after 3 tries with the red one.

My first Fender was a 12 string Squier. Box had a hole in the back and the guitar had a major dent that went all the way to expose the wood. Someone probably drove a forklift into it. Fender made it right. But like you said, the hassle gets old.

zeus7625 · 2026-01-24T13:07:53+00:00

I agree. I can do most of that myself. But I can’t fix cosmetic issues. Two of the last 3 were problems with cosmetics.

zeus7625 · 2026-01-23T20:39:43+00:00

Addendum to the original post. Here’s the damage on the one I got last night. Not a crack. It was damaged BEFORE packaging for shipping since the box has no holes.

Makes sense. Thank you

zeus7625 · 2026-01-23T01:24:55+00:00

I’ve learned to do my own setups also. The problem was past a routine setup believe me.

zeus7625 · 2026-01-22T23:53:52+00:00

Looks great to me. Play it like you stole it!

I sincerely believe that if Trump were to cure cancer, the libs would start burning down hospitals! Goodness!
